The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is accepting 2023 nominations for the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The deadline for submission is Friday, May 27, at noon. All nominations will be considered at the annual Walk of Fame Committee meeting in June. The Walk of Fame Committee will make selections for 2023.
“It is that time again. Celebrities can now be submitted for consideration for a Walk of Fame star for the class of 2023,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies. “This is an easy way to nominate your favorite entertainer or client in the categories of Motion Pictures, Television, Recording, Radio, Live Theatre/Live Performance and our newest category, Sports Entertainment. The Walk of Fame Selection Panel will select an elite group of personalities to become our newest Walk of Famers and continue to help make Hollywood the most famous landmark in the world.”
Nominations must include a completed application and a commitment to sponsor the star. The sponsorship fee is $55,000. Potential nominees must sign the nomination forms and agree to attend the event to accept the honor if selected.
“Anyone can nominate their favorite celebrity, including fans,” Martinez added.
The Walk of Fame Committee will select approximately 20-24 candidates for inclusion on the Walk of Fame. Whether nominating an individual or group, the sponsor must submit a photograph, biography and the nominee’s qualifications, as well as a list of contributions to the community and information about civic participation. A letter of agreement from the nominee, or their management, must be included with the application.
Those selected for stars have two-years to set a ceremony date. The selections expire after two years. Posthumous nominations have a two-year waiting period before they can be nominated.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame does not encourage or endorse online campaigns for fundraising for a star prior to selection. Such initiatives do not impact the selection process for a star on the Walk of Fame. The committee does not accept signatures, phone calls, e-mails or any form of written or online petitions for a nomination.
New selections will be announced late June. For applications and information, visit walkoffame.com.
